New Mexico government rips civilian militia for detaining 200 migrants at gunpoint near border
An armed right-wing militia group, which calls itself the United Constitutional Patriots, posted videos to social media, including one where they held about 200 asylum-seeking migrants at gunpoint near Sunland Park, N.M., until U.S. Border Patrol agents arrived. A spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that Border Patrol 'does not endorse private groups or organizations taking enforcement matters into their own hands.'
